Donations are pouring in for the Los Angeles charity supported by Miley Cyrus at the MTV Video Music Awards last night. On Sunday the controversial pop star, 21, set tongues wagging for the second year in a row but this time for a good reason. Cyrus won the Video of the Year award for her hit song “Wrecking Ball;” however, she asked a homeless youth to accept the award on her behalf to bring attention to the charity My Friend’s Place (MFP). Jesse, a 22-year-old homeless youth from Oregon, had Cyrus and others in the crowd in tears during a moving speech designed to raise awareness about homelessness in Los Angeles.

He once received assistance from MFP. “My name is Jesse. I am accepting this award on behalf of the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the United States who are starving and lost and scared for their lives. I know, because I am one of those people,” the longhaired man told the crowd. According to MFP, which is privately funded, there are “an estimated 4,000 homeless youth” in Los Angeles County.
